In the last 48 hours, the 8GW of approved & built #Victorian windfarms produced less power than they need to operate. Even if you covered the entire state with them, you would have needed 150GW of back up battery, or a real base load power supply Lily D'Ambrosio MP Jacinta Allan

To build the necessary 96GW of battery that would have been needed to store the demand shortfall in the past 24 hours would cost so many Billions its not funny, then spend it all over again in 10 to 15 years when it would need to be replaced. Lily D'Ambrosio MP Jacinta Allan

Morning peak energy consumption and not a wind or solar MW in sight. Turbines actually drawing more off the grid at the moment to stay excited & warm.
& Lily D'Ambrosio MP can't build enough battery capacity to cover the necessary capacity for the Autumn wind lull and shorter sun

Good morning 💛.
Happy Monday, a beautiful goldcrest to start the week. Have a lovely day!! 💛🖤

A Little Bee-eater with something to say…

📍Kigali Golf Resort & Villas in #Kigali #Rwanda #Birds

saw a big one under the wood pile

eyes everywhere

Beetling along

Spider had not moved much, later shot with a flash.

Nice pattern on this spider, and his web is thick and strong, you can almost play it.😀

GOOD MORNING #TwitterNatureCommunity 📸🪶

I finally got the chance to see some baby SPOONS!! This mother was so gentle with its newborns and often took a moment just to adore them.

Across all of the NEM, wind is 4%, Victoria is just 60MW, less than 1.5%% of its current 4114GW demand. The Vic Grid is currently being topped up with 278MW of QLD Black coal power, requiring 334MW to be generated to account for transmission losses, negating most Wind GHG savings

Big batterys nearly flat, no solar at night, no wind. Even if you cover the state with wind farms & solar panels, you would need to go into this evening with over 80GW of usable charged batteries to get to dawn without coal. Then you have to replace it all over again in 10 years

The Ibis have come to eat the crickets. We welcome more Ibis. #birds

The bald eagles this morning were just breathtakingly beautiful…

And as the day closes to an end, #Victorian tax payers would all be relying on candles if any electrical generators built before the year 2000 was turned off.
You might need to devise a plan that has a chance of working Lily D'Ambrosio MP & Jacinta Allan
